Soooo I’ve got an INSANE announcement

“Ev’rybody Wants To Be A Cat” will be making its Off-Broadway/International Film Festival Debut in two weeks at the @amtfilmfestival !!! WHAT?!?

Creating this film has been BEYOND fulfilling. I came up with the idea in February after my first month living in NYC. I wanted to capture how special it is to be able to follow my dreams (and be a CAT, literally and metaphorically) in a place like this.

I’m so thankful for the @bdcnyc Professional Semester for connecting me with all of these incredible dancers. My dancers, kitties, friends, and inspiration - I am so grateful for each and every one of you. Special shoutout to @calebwowens - you are an embodiment of the sparkle that makes NYC so special. THANK YOU!!

Thank you @amtfilmfestival @amttheater45 for believing in me and this project!! What an HONOR it is to be chosen.

First time filming, editing, directing, and choreographing in one project. My heart&soul is in this project.
